A 2027 Checklist for Choosing the Right Loungewear Size and Fit
Loungewear only does its job when you forget you're wearing it. That means a fit that moves with you on the sofa, a soft, gentle fabric that feels soothing against your skin and a size that's generous without swamping you. Our loungewear range is small and considered, and this checklist walks you through everything to think about before you order, so what arrives is exactly what you were hoping for.
Start With How You'll Wear It
Before you look at a size chart, think about where the piece will spend most of its time.
- Evenings on the sofa. You'll want a relaxed fit with room to curl up, and sleeves you can push back.
- Mornings and getting ready. A robe you throw on over nightwear should be easy to tie and quick to slip off.
- Layering. If you'll wear the piece over other clothes, allow for that when you choose the size.
- Layering. If you'll wear the piece over other clothes, allow for that when you choose your size.
Our Soft Muslin Robe is designed for lounging, from the sofa right through to your bedside, and it's light enough to wear over nightwear without feeling bulky.
Understand the Sizing
Our robes come in three sizes, and each one covers two conventional sizes:
Size |
Covers |
|---|---|
|
XS/S |
Extra small to small |
|
M/L |
Medium to large |
|
XL/XXL |
Extra large to double extra large |
They're designed for all genders, so the same chart applies to everyone. If you sit at the top of a bracket, or you love an oversized fit, we'd suggest going up a size. Because the robe is made from four-ply muslin, it drapes softly, so a slightly larger size hangs well without looking baggy.
Check The Fabric
Fit is only half of comfort. The fabric decides how the piece feels after two hours, not two minutes.
- Weight. Light fabrics are easier to relax in. Our muslin is layered in four plies, which gives gentle warmth when you need it and stays cool when you don't.
- Breathability. A fabric that lets air through won't leave you feeling stuffy on the sofa.
- Texture. Muslin has a soft, gentle feel against the skin and is traditionally used for baby products because of its delicate texture. It's a lovely choice if you prefer fabrics that feel kind and comfortable against your skin.
- Feel over time. Muslin can become softer with washing, making it even more comfortable to reach for as you wear and care for your robe.
- Certification. Our robe is OEKO-TEX® certified, so the textile has been tested for harmful substances.
Think About Length and Details
A robe should sit at a length that lets you walk around the house easily and sit down without bunching. Check the product measurements and compare them with a robe you already own.
Details matter too. A tie belt lets you adjust the fit at the waist, pockets are handy for a phone, and flat seams stay comfortable at the collar and cuffs.
Choose a Colour You'll Reach For
Loungewear gets worn far more often than most clothes, so pick a colour you'll be happy in every day. Our robe comes in Cloud Grey, Pure White, Soft Oat and Dusty Rose, which are all easy to pair with whatever you sleep in.
Don't Forget Your Feet
Slippers are part of the loungewear picture. Our Reflexology Slippers have gel-filled soles with nine pressure points that massage your feet as you walk, and they're crafted with soft merino wool. The Stormur is a felted clog-style slipper, while the Rok has a moccasin design, so you can choose the style that suits you.
Sizes run from UK 3 to 7 for women and UK 7 to 12 for men. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit. If you plan to wear your slippers with thicker socks, it's worth keeping that in mind when choosing your size.
The Checklist
Here's everything in one place to run through before you check out:
- I know where and when I'll wear it most.
- I've chosen the size bracket that suits me, sizing up if I like an oversized fit.
- I've checked the fabric is light, breathable and soft.
- I've compared the length with something I already own.
- I've picked a colour I'll be happy wearing every day.
- I've matched my slipper size to how I'll wear them.
- I've noted that delivery is free and returns are stress-free if the fit isn't quite right.
Making Bedtime Match
Once you've found the fabric you love to lounge in, it's lovely to carry that same feel into bed. Our Soft Muslin bedding has the same signature texture as the robe, and you'll find sheets and pillowcases in the same soft fabrics in our bedding collection, so the whole evening feels co-ordinated.
FAQs
We offer stress-free returns, so if the fit isn't right you can send it back and choose another size. Delivery is free to most UK postcodes, and accessories ordered before 1pm arrive the next working day, so a swap doesn't take long.
The four-ply muslin gives gentle warmth and it's designed for layering. In colder months, wear it over long nightwear and add a throw when you're on the sofa. It's much lighter than a towelling robe, which many people find more comfortable indoors.
Yes. Follow the care label for the temperature and setting, and it'll get softer with every wash.
They are. The gel-filled soles are designed to be walked on, and the merino wool uppers keep your feet comfortable. They can also be worn outside for a quick trip to the bin or the garden.
Our loungewear is designed for adults, in sizes from XS/S to XL/XXL. For children, our Hybrid® Kids Mattress and Cot Bed Mattress are the pieces in our range made with them in mind.
